My Top 13 Parenting Posts of 2013

Anna from In The Playroom has had a fantastic idea for a linky - your top 13 parenting posts of the year. Hers are all really informative and useful, mine are more of a mix. These are the posts that get Google hits every day, the posts that I am most proud of, and a wild card or 2....

Early Sunday Morning-
I'll start with my favourite post of the year. It took 5 minutes to write, is
incredibly short and I think it's probably the funniest thing I've ever
written.

I wrote this post the night my partner became ill. I had to leave him in hospital and I was incredibly scared although I did feel that he was in the right place and getting better. At this point no-one realised that he wasn't getting better, he was actually seriously ill with Meningitis. My blog became my diary and my reference, and as I look back it's the best memory I have because the next few weeks were a blur.

About The Brick Castle

We feature play and entertainment for children and young people from tiny to teen and beyond. Skilled at Lego building, reviewing big kid toys and mending all things trodden on. Grieving the loss of our 16 year old to suicide in August 2014. I write about this occasionally, and I collect smiles as often as possible. You can find #TBCSmiles on the blog and my Instagram every 15th of the month - everyone is welcome to share their smiles.

Mainly my own content with an occasional guest post to put food on the table. If I didn't write it, they'll have certainly paid me to host it.
